Hi Valda, thanks. We had tried Mallin & Mallen but not Malin. Some sites will give all the variations and some just what you type in. With four different spellings it can be difficult!
We have tried the 1911 census but with such common names we were chewing up credits a a great rate without finding her so far.
Anyway, she is not Hughes so we are no further forward. Will continue with Rich and Galvin's research in the meantime. Found a lovely photo of the Fortescue Players but no names attached.
Will let you know how we progress. dee.
